White Sox Draft Jerry Reinsdorf's Grandson In 40th Round
(CBS) -- The Chicago White Sox selected someone with a familiar name with their pick in the 40th round of the MLB amateur draft.
The White Sox selected 18-year-old New Trier infielder Joseph Reinsdorf, the grandson of White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, with the pick. Joseph is the son of Michael Reinsdorf, the Bulls' president and COO. Jerry Reinsdorf is also the chairman of the Bulls.
White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told MLB.com that Chicago's rookie rosters were full, so it was a fun move to take Joseph, who plans to study at Northwestern.
The White Sox picked a total of 38 players: 18 pitchers, four catchers, 10 infielders and six outfielders.
